Vote Here:
1. Russia
2. Islamic Jihadists (Al Qaeda, ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, etc)
3. Other (name it)
My oh my, what a difference a month makes.
My vote - Jihadists / like trying to defeat aliens / driven by religion and deep seated ideology that is for the most part, irreversible, and motivated by martyrdom and a place in paradise.

Having a Kenyan Muslim Socialist Manchurian candidate as President
That would be a "3. Other".

The US is an empire which will crumble from within like the Roman Empire. Primarily by 3rd world immigrants coming from Mexico and terrorists from the Middle East. The buildup will be slow but the collapse will be swift.

Jihadists and its not really close. Russia, and to a greater extent China are there, but they are afterthoughts

3rd world immigrants
The immigrants who came from Ireland, Asia, Western Europe, Greece, etc came in the ages when government programs did not exist.

It is close. Russia is a far greater problem than any terrorist. Even after their greatest accomplishment - the Sept. 11 attacks - terrorism could not be classified as an existential threat.
Our response to the attacks has weakened and evolved our military into something that is as an institution weaker than it was a decade ago.
State on state violence is the only tangible existential threat still, which means state actors such as Russia and China pose a much higher threat than an ideologically driven militia in the Middle East.

quote:Do not really fit into the definition of geopolitical foe. At least not in the context of the debate about Russia being our biggest geopolitical foe. Islamic jihadists do not hold a seat at the table when it comes to geopolitical issues – sanctions, trade, treaties, etc.
Islamic Jihadists

Why not?
If Richard Reid doesn't bumble the detonation and Abdulmutallab's bomb doesn't fizzle, are you still saying that?

It will be the chickens coming home to roost for whites. We committed genocide on Native Americans in this country and shipped slaves over under subhuman conditions to help build this country. The Europeans did the same on other continents. The process is now slowly or not so slowly reversing itself in the western world. Immigrant hordes from central America and Mexico pouring through the southern border while decadent American citizens are focused on money, celebrity, narcissism. History always repeats itself.

Our greatest problem is considering every problem as OUR problem.

I could also see everything mentioned above weakening us enough socially and economically to the point that we are easy targets for Russia, China to overthrow.

You do realize that the best way to save America as you see it would be via a socialist revolution. No one wanted to immigrate to the Soviet Union.

I'm all for moving away from unfettered capitalism. It is an economic relic of the 20th century. Endless growth via consumerism to grow the economy indefinitely is unsustainable.
